Chennai, Oct 5: Tamil actor Ashok Selvan, who has worked with three debutant directors in back-to-back films such as "Soodhu Kavvum", "Pizza 2: Villa" and "Thegidi", says he finds a winning attitude in them.
"I haven't worked with experienced directors yet, and therefore, I can't compare them with newcomers. But one thing that I have noticed in first time directors is their urge to win. They work with a winning attitude and I admire it," Ashok told Ians.
"They are always up for interaction and suggestions. I have just started my career but I don't have to think twice to start a conversation with them. I guess it's not the same with experienced directors," he added.

Chennai, July 2: The going has not been great so far for the Tamil film industry, especially with big-budget, star-studded films falling like nine pins at the box office. But offbeat films with out-of-the-box content such as "Soodhu Kavvum" made by aspiring, mostly first-time filmmakers, kept the footfalls going in theatres.
Out of the almost 100 Tamil films, including dubbed ones, Ians lists five that stood out and kept audiences entertained:
"Soodhu Kavvum": Made by debutant Nalan Kumarasamy, the low-budget dark comedy is undoubtedly the best caper film in the history of Tamil cinema. Crudely funny and creative are words that one can.

"Neram" tops a list of films that come once in a while to make us believe that Tamil cinema is not dead. Surprisingly, it's the first-time filmmakers, not the veterans any longer, who are keeping this industry alive and redefining entertainment with better craftsmanship.

It is believed that there is good and bad time in our lives and both.
